Thanks Mike. I have always been told they are poisonous but don't know if anyone has tried eating them. I certainly won't be testing them. They look rather leathery and unpalatable as well.

Next time I find a puff ball I will photo it and post. I am assuming they occur here where I live now, Vermont. When I was in Michigan you could find them in the right weather conditions anytime from the middle of August through October. They are the only type of their kind that is so distinguishable, as they are VERY large. I have no hesitation selecting and eating them. Puff Balls and Morels are easily identified wild mushrooms and safe to eat.

Ann, I came across this old thread, and was wondering if you ever had the chance to try some of the ones I sent you the photos of.

Morels bring a VERY high price around here from the mushroom buyers. A late mushroom growing friend of mine tried for many years, but rather unsuccessfully to grow them in comercial quantities. He considered that a gold mine if it could be done.

We have a patch of Morels on our black powder trail walk course of fire through the bush that I keep thinned out when I can find them.

I'm with Mike on the puffballs. Not my favourite, either.

I really like the standard white field mushrooms we find near our fall steelhead camp - up to 9" in diameter at first opening. The cap fills an 9" skillet - barely floating and gently bubbling in butter - then onto a large slice of toasted home made bread - butter, of course, liberally poured all around. MmmmmmntMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm

Well, learn something every day. I have lots of them around my property during the summer. I never knew that they were edible. I will definitely give'm a try.

Max...be extremely careful. I can't emphasize that enough. Some of them are poisonous. Get yourself a good Mushroom Book. Peterson't Guide to Mushrooms is an excellent one.

Also, the mushrooms whose photos I posted on this thread are edible, and there is no poisonous one that resembles them.

Yes Max be careful. As Mike says consult a good mushroom book and don't rely on the internet alone. NE takes no responsibility for people eating mushrooms. We also don't want to see anyone die! Sounds melodramatic but it is a possibility with the wrong ones.

If anyone from Oz is interested there is a field guide to mycography that was available. The old wives tale abt rubbing the item across your lips and waiting for a reaction is just that as some species efects do not present until 24hrs and by that time if you have eaten same then goodnight nurse.
